26、Having to deal with a rejection can be extremely difficult. But something that many people find even more difficult is to be the one who has to reject. Sometimes we accept out of politeness, in other cases because we simply don’t know in what possible way to say no. 【1】 So why not learn how to politely decline a request and save a lot of time and nerves? It’s time to stop being everybody’s darling!

Saying “no” in a proper way is quite difficult. 【2】 So, whenever a person makes a demand on us, we will have to decide either to accept or reject it based on whether we like it, feel comfortable with it or not. If you like it you accept it. 【3】

But due to the fact that we are no robots, it is not easy for us to make a decision based on whether we just like something or not. 【4】 In many cases, social factors affect our willingness to say “no”, whenever we fear to hurt the other person’s feelings.

Anytime you say “yes” when you know that you should have said “no”, no matter whether you rationalize (使合理化) it as a sign of friendship or kindness, in the end, it doesn’t change the fact that you have agreed to do something you absolutely do not want to do. That’s just because you don’t want to give others a reason to think negatively of you or believe that they will quit the friendship when you’re not doing everything they demand. 【5】 And no true friend will quit the friendship with you, just because you aren’t willing to do a favor in a given situation.

A．If you don’t like it you just say “no” and reject it.

B．You can finally live the life the way you want it to.

C．As a result, we always end up with amounts of extra work.

D．It might help to see the situation just as emotionless as a robot.

E．Would you clearly express that you will not be able to do the extra work?

F．There will always be other factors that highly influence our decision-making process.

G．But actually a real friend will try to get his life straight without taking advantage of you.

27、Every summer,the beautiful singing of thousands of American swamp sparrows can be heard across North America's wetlands. These little brown birds may know just a few songs,but they know them well.

Like humans,baby swamp sparrows learn to communicate by copying adults from a young age.Swamp sparrows very rarely make mistakes when they learn their songs.Their copy is so accurate (精准的) that the music changes little between generations.This learning ability was thought to be special only to humans.Until recently,the research found the ability in other creatures was super cool.

Between 2008 and 2009, Lachlan's research can recorded the calls of 615 swamp sparrows.The research found that only 2 percent of them sang a different song from the standard tune (曲调).The accurate copy allows the birds to create traditions that last for centuries.The song-types that you hear in the woods of North America today may well have been there about 1,000 years ago

In the modern world of human beings. the little bird's ability in singing in the same tune is outstanding.Scientists are also exploring the influence of human's activities on songbirds. Man-made barriers-such as cities and roads - can break up a bird population into several separate groups.These barriers may prevent cultural interaction between the songbird populations,such as the exchange of song types.

【1】What do we know about swamp sparrows from the text?

A．They like singing songs they hear.

B．Their songs change little for long.

C．Their singing differs from each other.

D．They sing songs better than humans.

【2】How are the songbirds influenced by man-made barriers?

A．They will have a smaller population.

B．They may have less communication.

C．They can sing more different songs.

D．They make more mistakes in singing.

【3】What can be the best title of the text?

A．Man and Nature

B．A Bird Similar to Humans

C．Song Types of the Sparrows

D．A Bird with a Musical Tradition

28、Everyone loves watching the leaves change in autumn and observing the variety of colors. This seasonal change has inspired many artists to create amazing poetry, such as Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost or Song for Autumn by Mary Oliver. But have you ever wondered the scientific reason as to how trees get their special autumn colors?

In the spring and summer, tree leaves produce a chemical called chlorophyll(叶绿素), which is responsible for the green color. Chlorophyll is in charge of using the sunlight’s energy to create sugars that the tree needs to survive. There are actually two main types of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll A is present in every tree, but Chlorophyll B is present only in trees that do not get as much sunlight, so Chlorophyll B assists Chlorophyll A to produce enough food for the trees to survive. Chlorophyll A gives leaves a bright green color, while Chlorophyll B produces a darker green color.

As the seasons begin to change, daylight becomes shorter and temperatures go down, causing the trees to stop producing the sugars that they need to live. As a result, the chlorophyll and its green pigment(色素) begin to disappear, showing the bright autumn colors that so many trees are loved for. Aside from chlorophyll, there are some other chemicals that bring red or yellow pigments to tree leaves.

Autumn is a magical season that has the ability to attract us each and every year with its bright change of colors in trees. Sometimes it can seem so supernatural in all of its beauty that we forget to consider the scientific process that is truly at work. Walking through the rows of trees in the forest this time of year is inspiring — nature’s artistry and science on full display!

【1】Why does the author mention Robert Frost in paragraph 1?

A．Daylight becoming longer.

B．A great change in temperatures.

C．Not enough food for the trees.

D．The disappearance of chlorophyll and pigment.

【4】What may be the best title for this text?

A．How Trees Change Colors in Autumn

B．Why People Study the Colors of Trees

C．What Causes the Change in Chlorophyll

D．When Nature Is the Most Attractive

29、You have probably heard the saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Lemons are considered not tasty while lemonade is considered sweet. 【1】

But when something bad happens, it’s common for most people to complain about life, “ Why me?” That’s like getting a bag of lemons and thinking, “Lemons taste bad! I just want chocolate!” 【2】 But what if you did something with them? What if you made lemonade? Isn’t it possible to do something similar in a bad situation?

【3】 Let’s say you’re about to go to the movies, but you discover you have a flat tire(瘪了的轮胎）. You consider this a terrible thing. After all, you’re really looking forward to spending some time with your favorite film stars. Now you’re very worried, hating the tire, the car, and your life. But what if you called AAA(美国汽车协会） to get your tire fixed or caught up on things that you’d been meaning to do? 【4】 A bad experience can be turned into something good. Almost everything can work itself out into something better. You can’t change what has happened, right? So make the best of it. 【5】 The easy thing to do is to be disappointed about what has happened and not consider what it could be turned into.

Next time when some bad things happen, stop and think, “How can I turn this around? How can I make it a positive experience?”

A．Here’s an example.

B．I’m not saying it will be easy.

C．The answer to the problem is unique.

D．If you smile to life, it will smile back to you.

E．If you don’t do anything with the lemons, they will go bad.

F．The saying tells you to make the best of a bad situation.

G．What if you did some reading, or had coffee with a friend instead.
